    Anomaly, Charge Quantization and Family

    Get PDF
    We first review the three known chiral anomalies in four dimensions and then use the anomaly free conditions to study the uniqueness of quark and lepton representations and charge quantizations in the standard model. We also extend our results to theory with an arbitrary number of color. Finally, we discuss the family problem.Comment: 7 pages, LaTex file, Proceedings of the International Workshop on Nonperturbative Methods and Lattice QCD, Guangzhou, Chin

    Constraints on the Timeon Model

    Full text link
    The timeon model recently proposed by Friedberg and Lee has a potential problem of flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) if the mass of the timeon is small. In order to avoid, we introduce a small dimensionless parameter to suppress FCNCs. Even in this case, we find that the timeon mass must be larger than 151 GeV to satisfy all the constraints from processes involving FCNCs in the quark sectors. We also extend the timeon model to the lepton sector and examine the leptonic processes.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, published version in PR

    We consider X(3872)X(3872) and Y(4140)Y(4140) as the vector tetraquark states of Xc0≡ccˉuuˉ(ddˉ)X_c^0\equiv c\bar c u\bar u(d\bar d) and ccˉssˉc\bar c s\bar s, respectively. By connecting Λb→Xc0Λ\Lambda_b\to X_c^0\Lambda to B−→Xc0K−B^-\to X_c^0 K^-, we predict that the branching ratios of Λb→Λ(X(3872)0→)J/ψπ+π−\Lambda_b\to \Lambda(X(3872)^0\to) J/\psi \pi^+\pi^- and Λb→Λ(Y(4140)→)J/ψϕ\Lambda_b\to \Lambda(Y(4140)\to) J/\psi \phi are (5.2±1.8)×10−6(5.2\pm 1.8)\times 10^{-6} and (4.7±2.6)×10−6(4.7\pm 2.6)\times 10^{-6}, which are accessible to the experiments at the LHCb, respectively. The measurements of these Λb\Lambda_b modes would be the first experimental evidences for the XYZXYZ states in baryonic decays.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure

    Radiative Baryonic BB Decays

    We study the structure-dependent contributions to the radiative baryonic BB decays of B→BBˉ′γB \to {\bf B}{\bf \bar B'}\gamma in the standard model. We show that the decay branching ratios of Br(B→BBˉ′γ)Br(B \to {\bf B}{\bf \bar B'}\gamma) are O(10−7)O(10^{-7}), which are larger than the estimated values of O(10−9)O(10^{-9}) induced from inner bremsstrahlung effects of the corresponding two-body modes. In particular, we find that Br(B−→Λpˉγ)Br(B^- \to \Lambda \bar p \gamma) is around 1×10−61 \times 10^{-6}, which is close to the pole model estimation but smaller than the experimental measurement from BELLE.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, Revtex4, new fitting is include
